Is the mouse quiet? I'm looking for one that has a wheel that doesn't click as it scrolls.

Not too bad, still very quite but probably the loudest part of the mouse compared to the button clicks... but still very quiet. It's hard to quantify "loudness" for you but hopefully this context will help. I play video games late a night when my wife sleeps (the only time I can) and she used to always yell at me for the mouse being so load as she was a light sleeper. I bought and use this mouse now (which requires scroll wheel use too) for months and she sleeps through the night without waking up... so it passes the "angry wife" test for me. I hope this helps.

I've never had a problem with the scroll wheel. The button that makes it a free wheeled scroll is awesome. This is the best mouse I've ever owned. I don't do any gaming so not sure how well it would work for games.

I am using the HP mouse as I am answering these questions. No, the scroll wheel does not do right and left. Yes, it does have a click.

Yeah, it is very quiet. It's not a mechanical keyboard so it isn't clicky at all. I'd recommend it.

It does click when you scroll but its hardly noticeable. Most of the mice I have used are loud when scroll but this one isn't.

The wheel makes no perceptible noise. The mechanical sound from clicking the mouse is minimal. I doubt if it can be heard from beyond five or six feet away.

The scroll wheel isn't smooth. So it doesn't keep rolling after you have spun it. I'm pretty sure it's regular.

I just bought this mouse for my husband. We are avid gamers and he is a video game designer. The mouse does click when scrolling. Its a great mouse either way.

yes, the mouse is silent and smooth. I use it to edit intricate wav files in a digital editing software program and it goes where i want it to go, when and how i want it to go. I'm very picky about this stuff. I highly recomend this combination keyboard and mouse.

I'm not for sure what a 'smooth' scrolling wheel is, but it has a scrolling wheel. You can feel the "bumps?" in in it as you use the wheel to scroll.

It does bump, and yes it does separate from the scroll wheel. The buttons behind the mouse adjust the sensitivity. It is really good and other reviews explained that the battery sucks but I think that they had a broken or bad copy of the mouse. Mine is good, the led lights work, and I've had this since Christmas and I've never had to change the battery.

it's a bit too easy for me. mainly due to the wheel itself rolls too easily. as a result, often times i intend to "click" the wheel, but instead end up click and scroll at the same time. you have to becareful when you click and not scroll.

It's neither the quietest nor the loudest mouse I've used in the last year. The scroll is quiet but barely audible, but clicking is a bit louder. Personally I don't think it's bad form to use a typical mouse in the library but if you're looking for a silent click, this mouse doesn't have it.

The scroll wheel doesn't spin freely. It "clicks" or "ratchets" into the next position on the wheel, but it does so extremely smoothly. I have very little issue with either kind of mouse you have referred to, but I haven't felt much of a difference between this and a free spinner if you will. You may have stronger feelings on the matter, of course.

I guess that's a matter of opinion. I use these mice at work and I love them. Very dependable/durable. I think the scroll is very smooth and quiet. Great choice for a standard wired mouse. Hope this helps.

I have this mouse and the wheel does not turn smoothly but has slight stopping clicks. This scroll wheel in my experience is garbage. Trying to scroll to read and it constantly jumps up and down only to return to the same position no matter how may spins and clicks. Only way to scroll is very slowly and deliberately. Make me want to throw into a wall.
